Y, Resigns TALIAFERRO LAUDS INDUSTRIAL SHOW Key’s Great-Grandson Says Author Was Aboard Ameri- can, Not British, Boat A widely-accredited story concern- ing the writing of “The Star Spangled Banner” was refuted last night in an address before the Maryland Historical | Society in Baltimors by Francis Key- Smith of Washington, xreat-grnndsouv of Francis Scott Key. The romantic version that he at-| tacked contends that, at the time the national anthem was composed, Francis Scott Key was aboard a British man-o’- war in Baltimore Harbor. Armed with documentary evidence from the State Department and personal letters of his great-grandfather, Mr. Key-Smith, who has made an extensive study of this incident, painted a different picture. At the time of the bombardment of | Baltimore and the composition of the national anthem, Francis Scott Key, it was explained, was instead on board a small American vessel, which, having conveyed the American patriot to the British fleet, had been detained by the | British commander, Vice Admiral Cochrane, until the cessation of the attack. Learns of Arrest. Learning of the arrest of a Dr. Beanes of Baltimore by the British | troops for alleged conspiracy, Key, after receiving papers of truce and extradi- tion from the War Department, he had proceeded immediately to Balti- more, where he interviewed Col. J. S. Skinner, Government agent for the ex- change ' of prisoners, concerning the telease of the doctor. Since the British flest and army had met at Benedict, Md., at_the mouth of the Patuxent River, following the sacking of Washington by the English general, Ross. Col. Skinner advised Key that, in order to open negotiations with the British, a trip down the bay would be necessary. Accordingly, Col. Skinner and Key, aboard a small Government vessel fiying the flag of truce, proceed- ed down Chesapeake Bay, meeting the British fleet near the Patuxent River. Detained Until Attack. After receiving the request for the release of Dr. Bean, which he refused, Vice Admiral Cochrane, because of the. imminent British attack on Baltimore, decided to detain Keéy and Col. Skin- ner until attack maneuvers had been executed. Key returned to the Gov ernment vessel, which duly accom- panied the British fleet to the port of Baltimore, where the three-day bom- bardment begun on September 12, 1814. On the morning of September .14, several hours before dawn and the cessation of the British fire, Key, stand- ing at the rail of the small sloop and ‘writing on the back of a worn letter, composed the inspiring lines of the national anthem. ‘With the subsequent revision of this rough draft the final chapter in the writing of “The Star Spangled Banner” came to a close. In a resume of this personally au- thenticated story, Mr. Key-Smith said the only unverified circumstance in the story is the name of the American ves- sel.” There are no records of its ide tity. Mr. Key-Smith emphatically dy nied that Key was aboard a British ship. Mr. Key-Smith will deliver his ad. dress, “Francis Scott Key and the N: tional Anthem,” before the Mount Ver- non Chapter of the Royal Arch Lodge of Masons on Armistice night, No- - vember 11.
